Extract

The setting is Khye-Rell, part of a web of worlds in our universe's distant future. In this society, history is forbidden. A young girl, Kes'Cha'Au’, crosses a series of ‘transdimensional canals’, journeying back through our own time and our looming ecological collapse. She reveals, at the heart of everything, the universe creating itself out of nothing: it inscribes itself like a rune.
